Rossoneri head into the weekend's round of fixtures two points clear of rivals Inter in second spot and on the back of a 2-1 win at Bologna. Victory followed a 3-0 loss to Atalanta which served as their second defeat in four matches, following a first loss of the season at home to defending champions Juventus a few weeks prior.
"Today was a strong response from the team," Milan head coach Stefano Pioli told a news conference following their win at Bologna. "In the last two days we increased our pace and quality and today it showed.
"To win in this championship sometimes you have to struggle. It's nice to win like this."
Lo Squalo Calabrese slumped to a fifth defeat in their last six matches, going down 3-0 at home to Genoa last weekend to remain bottom of the Serie A standings and three points from safety.
Crotone head coach Giovanni Stroppa took full responsibility for their loss in Calabria and told Sky Sports: “The goals we conceded are the emblem of our match, this is my responsibility.
“I don’t remember such a bad game during my tenure. We can make mistakes on the pitch, but we shouldn’t have had the wrong approach.
“I am responsible for this, it’s a pity to have put in such a bad performance, the goals are there to be seen.”
